Hmm, still cant decide if I want to go with a schiit stack ( lyr+ bifrost) or the e1 muses for my he500 cans. Hmmm

Take your time, both are good options, in the beginning what brought me to it was its bit-perfect led indicator where it showed you the bit of the music (as to be sure of  the sample rate), but when I read the reviews and had a very very long conversation with my AMIGO about it and how it sounded with the HE-500 (the Muses not the normal version to be precise), I knew that it is the one (I was swinging between the E1 and the compass2).

Sound Signature wise, the Essence One Muses did it for me.
Both Turok and i love it, and we have HE-500's so that's got to tell you something.
 
LYR/Bifrost is also a good choice, but i did not like it over the E-One.
I would most definitely change out the tubes if i had the LYR/Bifrost combo again.
 
Also, to everyone else,
here's a picture of my amateur photography skills. (on my modified Essence One)

I am going to go and see if I can test them both out. I here from others and now you that in order to get the most out of the Lyr you really need to roll the tubes, which is not really something I am looking forward to doing but we will see.
 
Thanks again for the insight boys.

Buying on ebay could help you dodge $82 tax.

If you're like me and use ebay bucks, you'll also gain back $18, which saves you about a good $100.

Just some ideas

I use for listening Jriver Mediacenter 18 that is an excellent piece of software here the link to the manual

http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/436-jriver-media-center-17-detail/

for an overview and solving the problem of low level headphone impedance setting the volume to “internal volume” is the higher quality 64-bit volume control used by the JRiver audio engine and set volume control to -18db -20db
give a confortable volume with my ATH AD1000 40 ohm
with volume cursor at eleven.
Unfortunately Mediacenter isn’t free but when i used the trial version for two days I buy the full.
I think this solution is possible with foobar2000 too without
quality losses
My Essence one is a base version full modified with Muses01

Interesting.  But Asus has to fix this mistake.  We all paid a premium price for an upgraded version...only to find out that they didn't upgrade everything they claimed they did.  I feel ripped off.  It makes me question whether they even put installed the muse 01 opamp. You lose trust.
 
I know Asus will fix it.  But it's still a pretty big mistake and we only found out because some of you guys are nice enough to do all the inspections.  Thank you all that have brought the issue to the attention of everyone that has bought a E1 Muses edition.

Don't know if this question has already been answered but: Where does Asus state that this jumper should exist? Is it in the manual or somewhere on the website that I'm missing?
